Lesson 7 of 28 • Print / save PDF

   Bible⇒ 2 Peter 3: 13 .

   The meek ' shall inherit the earth.' It was through the desire for self-exaltation that sin entered into the world, and our first parents lost the dominion over this fair earth, their kingdom. It is through self-abnegation that Christ redeems what was lost. And He says we are to overcome as He did. Through humility and self-surrender we may become heirs with Him, when the ' meek shall inherit the earth. The earth promised to the meek will not be like this, darkened with the shadow of death and the curse. ' We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.' There shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.' " There is no disappointment, no sorrow, no sin; no one who shall say, I am sick; there are no burial trains, no mourning, no death, no partings, no broken hearts; but Jesus is there, peace is there. There ' they shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them; for He that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them.' "—" The Mount of Blessing," p. 33.
